Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a mechanical massage device making it possible to achieve punctual cutaneous stimulation with an effect analogous to that obtained transcutaneously by acupuncture.
- acupuncture is a medical discipline which consists in pricking certain points of the body located along the meridians by means of specific needles in order to provide stimulation for therapeutic purposes.
- Document EP 0.667.139 also discloses an automatic device allowing needles to penetrate at specific points, using a suction effect to control, by through a deformable chamber, the movement of said needles.
- Skin stimulation devices are also known, comprising a stimulation element, magnetic or not, intended to remain in contact with the skin at a very precise point, while being maintained by means of a suction effect.
- a stimulation element magnetic or not
- Such devices are for example described in documents US Pat. 5,904,700 and JP 10314271, it comprises a cup provided with a pointed element also called a needle, the point of which is flush with the contact plane of the opening of said cup with the skin, while a pear opening in said cup creates a depression in said cup.
- non-stimulation does not can be achieved only by removing said devices, which must therefore be replaced afterwards.
- the object of the present invention is to remedy these various drawbacks by proposing a mechanical massage device making it possible to achieve punctual cutaneous stimulation with an effect similar to that obtained transcutaneously by acupuncture, and which can be used by practitioners who, because of the impossibility of using needles, can no longer use the benefits of acupuncture.
- the mechanical massage device making it possible to provide punctual cutaneous stimulation with an effect analogous to that obtained transcutaneously by acupuncture, object of the present invention, is of the type comprising at least one punctual means of stimulation associated with suitable means. to maintain said means on the skin by a suction effect, and it is essentially characterized in that said means are provided capable, by means of a means capable of creating in a controlled manner a variation of depression, to allow, alternately and automatically, punctual stimulation phases of variable intensity, and non-stimulation phases.
- the device according to the invention thus makes it possible to carry out punctual stimulation without puncturing the skin and without any risk for the patient since the pressure exerted by the punctual element of stimulation is a function of the depression created, which it is easy to tare. to a maximum.
- the punctual means of stimulation consists of a pointed element or the like which extends in the zone of depression in the direction of the skin without crossing the plane of contact with the latter.
- the tip of the punctual stimulation means is, depending on the type of massage to be performed and the size of the contact plane with the skin, arranged at a variable distance from said contact plane.
- the distance between the pointed end and the punctual stimulation means is a function of the surface of the contact plane and the value of the depression created. During depression, the skin meets the punctual means of stimulation, we can then speak of the realization of an "Inverted Punctiform Massage".
- the means capable of maintaining the punctual stimulation means on the skin is made of a transparent material.
- the transparency allows a better positioning on the point of the meridian which will have been previously identified, and preferably marked.
- the punctual stimulation means consists of a silicone cone.
- the means capable of maintaining the punctual means of stimulation on the skin is in the form of a rigid suction cup.
- the means capable of maintaining the punctual stimulation means on the skin comprises a rim furnished with an O-ring intended to come into contact with the skin and which delimits the depression area.
- the O-ring ensures perfect adhesion to the skin even if it is particularly hairy, moreover, it avoids the formation of pronounced bruising.
- the device according to the invention several means capable of each maintaining a punctual means of stimulation on the skin are arranged in a set to correspond to a place on the body. According to an additional characteristic of the particular application of the device according to the invention, the means able to each maintain a punctual means of stimulation on the skin are movable with respect to each other.
- all of the means capable of each maintaining a punctual means of stimulation on the skin is in the form of a mask applicable on the face.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective and exploded view of an element of the device according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows a schematic sectional view along a median plane of the same element.
- Figure 3 shows a schematic sectional view along a median plane of the same element during use.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, one can see an element of the device according to the invention, and more precisely a means applicable to the skin which consists of a suction cup 1.
- This suction cup 1 comprises a body 2 of tubular shape, one end of which is closed by a bottom 20 pierced centrally with an orifice 21 which opens into an external tubular endpiece 22, while the other end has an external collar 23 whose edge extreme plane 24 is hollowed out by a peripheral groove 25 intended for receive an O-ring 3 which, when in place, extends beyond the flat edge 24.
- the body 2 is intended to receive internally a part 4 comprising a part 40 in the form of a disc with a diameter allowing it to be engaged without play in the body 2 against the bottom 20, and a conical part 41 protruding centrally from one face of the part 40, and whose dimensions are such that its tip 42 which occupies an axial position does not project beyond the plane defined by the external edge of the joint 3.
- the part 4 is pierced with a channel 43 comprising two sections, a section 44 pierced axially in the disc part 40 and which opens at the level of the orifice 21 and therefore of the 'tubular end piece 22, and a section 45 drilled obliquely in the conical part 41 and which opens into the sloping part thereof.
- the tubular end piece 22 is connected to a suction means, not shown, by means of a connection means 5, in this case a flexible tube.
- the suction cup 1 is placed on the skin P in a location chosen according to the acupuncture point which it is desired to stimulate and which will have been previously identified and marked, the point 42 being placed next to this point.
- the body 2 is preferably made of a transparent material.
- Maintaining the suction cup in the desired location is achieved by creating a slight depression in the body 2, the O-ring 3 ensuring the seal.
- a suction A in the connection medium 5 creates a depression in the body 2 which generates an uplift of the skin P, which comes into contact with the conical part 41, and more precisely with the tip 42 which thus produces a point stimulation whose neurocutaneous reflex effect is similar to that that produces a needle.
- the quality of the point stimulation can vary according to the depression exerted and the duration of the stimulation and the pressure exerted by the tip 42.
- the result is optimal by programming a succession of phases of point stimulation for each of which the duration and / or depression vary.
- a device preferably comprises several suction cups 1 in order to simultaneously stimulate several points.
- the suction means not shown, thus comprises several mouths for the connection of the connection means 5.
- the suction means can be in the form of a housing comprising a control panel which essentially comprises a control manometer.
- suction cups 1 which differ by the distance which separates the tip 42 from the contact plane with the skin P, which makes it possible to vary the pressure exerted by the tip 42 while maintaining the same depression.
- the device according to the invention can incorporate several programs, which are function of a treatment to be carried out.
- each program can incorporate an initial phase of low suction for the installation of the suction cups 1, and a final phase of end of suction causing the automatic detachment of the suction cups.
- the device according to the invention essentially the suction means, is either integrated into an auscultation table, or mounted on a mobile carriage able to be moved from a table from auscultation to another.
- a stimulation session using the device according to the invention can take place as follows:
- the device according to the invention can be used by practitioners who, as a result of the regulations, can no longer use needles as means of action for treatments concerning microcirculatory blockages. It is also usable, since its implementation is very accessible, by other practitioners, who must however have been trained in the discipline.
- Such an arrangement finds a particular application in the field of stimulation and massage of the face, the suction cups being assembled in a mask, and arranged in line with the regions comprising the points to be stimulated, the mobility of the suction cups making it possible to refine the positioning thereof. .
